Why Does This CTC Tea Taste So Different?

There are plenty of CTC teas in India, yet regular tea drinkers know that they don't all taste the same.

CTC stands for Crush, Tear and Curl, and it describes a manufacturing method—not a guarantee of a particular flavour or quality. The tea's final character also depends on the leaf, its origin, processing and brewing.
